When I first started throwing cards on the table for the deck, the defense would have been 17 cards...
...decrease stuff like Zimri, Gomer (Wo), Plagued with Diseases, King Rehoboam (to put Angel of Warning in a side battle and play Samaria to kill the rescuing hero)...
...site manipulation like 2 Liner+Samaria+Threatened Lives+High Places
All fun stuff that probably just isn't legit' in today's meta
But given the effectiveness of the offense, the multitude of sites (granted, sites that Sam decks can get into), and the presence of a stock-able Raider's camp... it all seemed like overkill. One thing I took out that I've since put back in is King Jehoash and King Amazing for CBN self capture more than the Soul Gen.
Thanks to cards cards like Sams Edict, Bravery of David, Joseph Before Pharaoh, it's hard to build a reliable Brown defense... advice?
